John If I could figure out how to get plywood off a train moving at about 20 mph I could help you every day freght train goes by with at least 15 cars of wood products on it. Not sure where it is all going but a lot of goes down the track everyday. Like someone be ready for sticker shock it is going to surprise you. THomT

Hi John-

Check DBS in Dartmouth, they have decent pricing. JT's on Aquidneck Island has a few sheets left of 3/8" I believe, but marine grade plywood is pretty expensive. The only difference is the layers, not the type of wood used. I redo decks quite a bit for my customers, and just use quality building type plywood. You will have to coat both sides with a layer of sealant, but the extra work saves lots of money off the marine grade stuff. I say don't waste yer money on the marine grade plywood, its twice the price. Can't use pressure treated either, trust me on that one........

I agree with squidler. just use regular grade A plywood and sop it up with catalyzed resin.

You could try Downes & Reader in Stoughton MA too. I think they have some marine plywood even though they specicalize in hardwoods. I think they have a website too and I know Boulter has a website.
